Curved platforms at some stations on Line 1 of the Paris Métro aren't
preventing the installation of curved doors there.

Even if curved doors are significantly more expensive or something, I
don't see why they couldn't just use straight doors on a curved wall --
it would mean a very small amount of wasted space between the center of
the door and the edge of the platform, but who cares...?

There does seem to be a dangerous design 'fault' with the DLR stock
that needs the train captain's full attention. That is the huge gap
between the cars. They are not fitted with a protective curtain as are
most tube stock. I guess its only a matter of time before someone
falls onto the track between cars and the train starts automtically
with fatal consequences. CJB.

People don't have any reason to be there though. Where they are used
on the Underground, there could usually be end doors immediately
adjacent*, around which someone might have an accident.
